FOREWORD 

HEN  a  state  of  war  was  declared  in  April, 
1917,  the  unrest  prevalent  throughout  the 
country  manifested  itself  in  intensified  form 
on  the  campus  of  every  college  for  men.  At 
Davidson  about  eighty  students  were  excused 
from  the  completion  of  their  spring  work  to  help  in  food 
production  at  their  homes. 

Between  April  1,  1917,  and  September  1,  1918,  one 
hundred  and  fifty-eight  students  went  into  service ;  fifty- 
five  of  these  were  in  the  two  Senior  classes  of  the  period. 

In  the  summer  of  1918,  at  the  request  of  the  War 
Department,  four  professors  and  thirty-three  students 
went  from  Davidson  to  the  training  camp  at  Plattsburg, 
New  York,  to  receive  instruction  which  would  fit  them 
for  assisting  in  teaching  military  science.  The  change  of 
conditions  in  France  and  the  resolve  of  the  Government, 
as  shown  by  the  passage  of  the  man-power  bill,  to  throw 
the  weight  of  America  into  the  war  at  once,  made  it  seem 
the  necessary  and  patriotic  thing  to  offer  the  college  for 
the  housing  and  training  of  one  of  the  550  Students’  Army 
Training  Corps. 

All  the  men  eighteen  years  old  or  over,  who  registered 
on  September  12,  and  who  were  physically  fit  and  pre¬ 
pared  for  college  work,  took  the  oath  of  allegiance  and 
became  regular  members  of  the  Students’  Army  Training- 
Corps.  This  impressive  ceremony  took  place  south  of 
Shearer  Hall,  at  noon  of  October  1.  The  student-soldiers, 
numbering  two  hundred  and  twenty-three,  were  barracked 
in  three  dormitories :  Watts,  Rumple,  and  Georgia.  All 
classes  were  abolished  and  the  companies  were  formed 
on  the  basis  of  age. 

Scarcely  had  the  organization  been  completed  when  the 
prevailing  epidemic  of  Spanish  influenza  reached  David¬ 
son.  The  south  wing  of  Chambers  dormitory  was  made 
into  an  improvised  hospital  for  the  two  hundred  and  fifty 
and  more  victims.  One  death  resulted  from  the  visitation 
and  all  exercises  were  suspended  for  three  weeks.

After  the  Armistice  was  signed  the  incentive  to  work 
disappeared.  The  unit  was  demobilized  on  December  10, 
1918,  after  about  seven  weeks  of  actual  work,  half  of  this 
time  being  taken  up  with  adjustments,  physical  examina¬ 
tions,  etc.  The  work  of  President  Martin,  of  the  Faculty, 
and  the  officers  of  administration,  was  greatly  increased 
during  the  period  in  which  the  Students’  Army  Training 
Corps  was  in  existence.  Schemes  of  study  and  details  of 
discipline  had  to  be  reshaped.  Classes  were  shifted,  the 
curriculum  remodeled,  and  the  teachers  worked  as  indus¬ 
triously  as  the  men  in  the  trenches. 

As  far  as  can  he  ascertained  at  this  time  736  students 
and  alumni  entered  the  service,  not  including  the  223  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  Students’  Army  Training  Corps.  Of  this  num¬ 
ber  (959)  twenty  made  the  supreme  sacrifice  in  battle 
or  in  camp  hospitals,  and  368  were  commissioned  officers.

OUR  DEAD 


“These  laid  the  world  away ;  poured  out  the  red 
Sweet  wine  of  youth;  gave  up  the  years  to  he 
Of  work  and  joy,  and  that  unhoped  serene 
That  men  call  age ;  and  those  who  would  have  been 
Their  sons,  they  gave,  their  immortality. 

These  hearts  were  woven  of  human  joys  and  cares, 
Washed  marvellously  with  sorrow,  swift  to  mirth. 

The  years  had  given  them  kindness.  Dawn  was  theiis, 
And  "sunset  and  the  colours  of  the  earth. 

These  had  seen  movement,  and  heard  music ;  known 
Slumber  and  waking;  loved;  gone  proudly  friended; 

Felt  the  quick  stir  of  wonder.  * 

All  this  is  ended.”

MEMORIAL  SERVICE 


In  the  late  afternoon  of  May  27,  1919,  with  relatives  of 
those  we  sought  to  honor,  the  faculty  and  students,  trus¬ 
tees  and  commencement  visitors,  gathered  in  the  Presby¬ 
terian  Church  at  Davidson  to  show  affection  for  and  do 
reverence  to  the  twenty  Davidson  College  Alumni  who 
had  given  their  lives  in  the  European  War — dying  in  battle 
lines  or  in  American  camps. 

The  service  flag  of  their  Alma  Mater  was  draped  over 
the  pulpit  and  a  wreath  of  laurel  encircled  the  gold  stars 
thereon. 

Prayer  and  song  added  tenderness  to  the  hour. 

Reverend  Charles  Malone  Richards,  1892,  read  the 
names  and  class  numerals  of  our  beloved  and  heroic  dead. 

Reverend  William  Talliaferro  Thompson,  1905,  deliv¬ 
ered  the  memorial  tribute  of  which  only  a  brief  can  be 
obtained.  Dr.  Thompson  began  by  repeating  — 

THE  SPIRES  OF  OXFORD 

“I  saw  the  spires  of  Oxford 
As  I  was  passing  by. 

The  grey  spires  of  Oxford 
Against  a  pearl-gray  sky. 

My  heart  was  with  the  Oxford  men 
Who  went  abroad  to  die. 

The  years  go  fast  in  Oxford, 

The  golden  years  and  gay. 

The  hoary  colleges  look  down 
On  careless  boys  at  play. 

Rut  when  the  bugles  sounded  war 
They  put  their  games  away. 

They  left  the  peaceful  river, 

The  cricket-field,  the  quad, 

The  shaven  lawns  of  Oxford, 

To  seek  a  bloody  sod — 

They  gave  their  merry  youth  away 
For  country  and  for  God.

God  rest  you,  happy  gentlemen, 

Who  laid  your  good  lives  down ; 

Who  took  the  khaki  and  the  gun 
Instead  of  cap  and  gown. 

God  bring  you  to  a  fairer  place 
Than  even  Oxford  town." 

This  was  followed  by  a  statement  of  the  fact  that  the 
English  college  men  meant  much  to  Britain  throughout  the 
war,  and  that  the  American  college  men  were  equally  as 
generous  with  their  lives.  Particularly  was  this  true  of 
our  college,  so  that  there  is  a  corner  of  a  foreign  field  that 
is  forever  Davidson. 

These  men  who  gave  their  lives  we  do  not  think  of  as 
lost. 


“  ’Tis  man’s  perdition  to  be  safe 
When  for  the  truth  he  ought  to  die." 

Nor  do  we  think  of  them  as  dead.  Browning  desired  his 
friends  to  think  of  him  as  just  away  and  more  alive  than 
ever.  This  is  the  picture  we  have  of  them.  Not  because 
we  have  accepted  any  cheap  theology  and  believe  that  death 
on  the  battlefield  is  the  initiatory  rite  to  heaven;  but 
because  we  feel  that  with  the  rearing  these  men  had  at 
home,  and  the  training  that  was  theirs  at  college,  the 
danger  they  faced,  the  hardship  and  agony  they  experi¬ 
enced  as  they  served,  must  have  led  them  to  know  the 
Great  Sufferer  for  mankind,  even  Jesus,  whom  to  know 
aright  is  life  eternal. 

We  most  assuredly  do  not  think  of  their  death  as  use¬ 
less.  Unquestionably  the  immediate  consequence-  of  the 
valor  and  sacrifice  of  the  American  troops  was  the 
triumph  of  the  Allies.  The  world  turned  around  at 
Chateau  Thierry  and  the  pivot  on  which  it  turned  was  the 
standard  of  our  soldiers.  Our  men  undeniably  saved  the 
day  for  civilization.

But  more  than  that,  they  revealed  to  us  in  America  the 
realities  of  life,  through  the  strain  and  stress  that  was 
upon  us  as  a  result  of  their  presence  in  Europe  linking  us 
to  the  war.  We  began  to  understand  that  things  were  not 
all,  that  justice,  truth,  righteousness,  mercy,  God,  were  the 
essentials  of  life. 

Further  than  this  they  showed  us  what  is  in  man,  exhib¬ 
iting  a  courage,  a  modesty,  and  an  unselfishness  that  has 
lifted  our  idea  of  the  possibilities  of  the  human  race.  “The 
greatest  gift  a  hero  leaves  the  race  is  to  have  been  a  hero.” 

Finally,  they  have  challenged  those  of  us  who  remain 
to  service  hv  their  own  efforts  and  sacrifice,  and  by  their 
manifestation  of  the  fact  that  men  have  capacity  for  finer 
things  if  they  are  but  granted  the  chance.  Mr.  Wilson 
said  recently,  “Once  more  in  the  providence  of  God,  Amer¬ 
ica  is  being  given  the  opportunity  to  show  the  world  that 
she  is  born  to  serve  mankind.”  In  the  providence  of  God, 
this  group  of  men,  represented  by  the  cluster  of  stars  that 
death  has  kissed  to  gold,  calls  us  to  possess  ourselves  of 
this  opportunity  to  serve  our  fellowmen,  that  righteous¬ 
ness  and  peace  may  so  prevail  throughout  the  earth  that 
even  the  lowest  and  feeblest  may  be  free  and  happy.  It 
is  only  as  we  hear  and  follow  that  their  death  will  not  have 
been  in  vain.  They  call  us  by  their  death.  Can  we  fail 
them  who  did  not  fail  us  ? 


At  memorial  services  held  on  Armistice  Day,  1920, 
Professor  Joseph  Moore  McConnell,  1899,  of  the  David¬ 
son  College  Faculty,  said  in  part : 

Why  did  they  die,  those  patriotic  sons  of  Davidson? 
Those  of  us  here  who  had  taught  them  remember  with 
what  buoyant  hearts  and  high  devotion  our  college  stu- 
dents  volunteered  at  their  country’s  call.  There  was  no 
shouting  or  tumult,  no  flaring  of  trumpets,  none  of  the 
pomp  and  circumstance  of  war  connected  with  their  going, 
hut  with  firm  resolve,  they  gave  up  their  preparation  for 
life,  slipped  away  to  camp  and  field  and  began  that  gruel¬ 
ling  routine  that  was  to  fit  them  for  the  life  and  work  of  a

soldier.  Occasionally,  during  the  weeks  and  months  of 
training,  they  would  drop  in  to  see  us,  spend  a  few  hours 
on  the  campus  shaking  hands  with  friends  and  then  would 
he  out  and  gone,  frequently  to  some  port  of  embarkation 
and  thence  over  the  sea  to  the  fields  of  France.  We 
remember  how  their  faces  were  fairly  aglow  as  their 
hearts  burned  with  the  desire  to  he  in  the  thick  of  the 
fight,  to  make  their  contribution.  The  fight  for  what? 
The  fight  to  overthrow  despotism,  misrule,  injustice  and 
oppression  throughout  the  whole  wide  world.  No  crusader 
of  the  middle  ages  ever  took  the  cross  with  a  higher, 
nobler  purpose  than  that  shown  by  our  college  boys  as 
they  bade  good-bye  to  friends  and  crossed  the  seas  to 
crush  the  power  of  military  despotism,  to  set  free  the  peo¬ 
ples  of  all  lands.  Truly,  the  sons  of  the  new  world,  nur¬ 
tured  in  the  home  of  freedom,  were  returning  in  filial  love 
to  bring  a  votive  offering  of  peace  and  liberty  to  the  parent 
peoples  of  the  old  world.  And  we  do  ourselves  honor 
today  when  we  honor  their  memory,  made  precious  and 
dear  to  all  mankind  by  their  heroic  sacrifice. 

“When  a  deed  is  done  for  freedom,  through  the  broad 
earth's  aching  breast 

Runs  a  thrill  of  joy  prophetic,  trembling  on  from  East  to 
West. 

And  the  slave  where’er  he  cowers,  feels  the  soul  within 
him  climb 

To  the  awful  verge  of  manhood,  as  the  energy  sublime 

Of  a  century  bursts  full-blossomed  on  the  thorny  stem  of 
time. 

Through  the  wall  of  hut  and  palace  shouts  the  instan¬ 
taneous  throe, 

When  the  travail  of  the  ages  wrings  earth’s  systems  to 
and  fro ; 

At  the  birth  of  each  new  era  with  a  recognizing  start, 

Nation  wildly  looks  at  nation  standing  with  mute  lips 

apart,  .  ,  ..  .  . 

And  the  glad  truth’s  yet  mightier  man-child  leaps 

beneath  the  future’s  heart."

What  was  the  result  of  these  “deeds  done  for  free¬ 
dom”  by  our  heroic  dead?  In  truth  a  new  era  in  the  his¬ 
tory  of  the  human  race  has  been  ushered  in,  an  era  of  new 
hope  to  men,  new  rights,  new  ambitions,  new  opportuni¬ 
ties — in  fact  a  new  world  order.  The  shot  fired  at  Lex¬ 
ington  has  indeed  been  “heard  around  the  world" — 
Cantigny,  Chateau-Thierry,  Belleau-Wood,  the  Argonne 
are  other  Lexingtons.  And  today  throughout  all  lands  a 
new  sense  of  freedom  and  individual  rights,  and  a.  new 
hope  of  future  world  peace,  are  stirring  in  the  hearts  of 
peoples  formerly  -oppressed  by  autocratic  and  militaristic 
governments.  This  great  boon  to  mankind,  not  yet  fully 
realized,  hut  in  the  making,  is  the  gift  to  the  world  of  the 
40,000  or  more  American  boys  (and  we  are  proud  of  the 
Davidson  men  among  them)  who  rest  beneath  the  soil  of 
France;  and  also  of  the  other  thousands  who  succumbed 
to  disease  or  accident  while  in  training  camp,  and  who 
sleep  here  in  the  homeland.  We  are  grateful  and  happy 
to  think  that  they  did  not  die  in  vain.  Their  sacrifice  was, 
as  it  were,  an  atonement  for  the  inhumanity  of  the  Turk, 
the  cruel  injustice  of  the  Hapsburg,  the  militarism  of  the 
Hohenzollern,  and  the  stupid  oppression  of  the  Romanoffs. 
And  these  hoys  of  ours,  having  paid  the  price  with  their 
lives,  the  peoples  of  the  Turkish  Empire  are  today  liber¬ 
ated  from  the  barbarous  misrule  of  the  fanatical  followers 
of  Islam,  the  nations  of  Austria  and  Germany,  though 
suffering  for  the  present,  have  been  regenerated,  and  the 
Russians,  for  the  time  confused  and  delirious  in  the  posses¬ 
sion  of  a  new  and  unfamiliar  freedom,  are  groping  toward 
a  new  light.  “Greater  love  hath  no  man  than  this,  that 
a  man  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends.”  Our  hoys  gave 
their  lives  not  only  for  their  friends,  nor  for  their  country 
alone,  hut  for  the  whole  world.  Through  their  sacrifice, 
Asia,  Africa  and  Europe,  yea,  the  world,  have  learned  the 
lesson  of  American  freedom.

Aye,  worthy  of  the  kings  of  old 
Who  wielded  combat’s  lance, 

Those  boys  of  ours  whose  hearts  of  gold. 

Sleep  in  the  dust  of  France. 

One  face  among  them  I  recall — 

A  mirror  true  to  truth ; 

Peer  of  the  knightliest  of  them  all 
Was  this  immortal  youth. 

Cradled  among  our  Georgia  pines, 

None  braver  on  the  plain, 

E’er  graced  Napoleon’s  battle  lines 
Or  marched  with  Charlemagne. 

Like  yonder  bird  of  ether  bold 
Upon  her  mountain  nest, 

France,  to  a  mother’s  heart  will  fold 
This  eaglet  on  her  breast. 

Through  burning  Argonne  s  fiery  hell, 

O’er  glorious  St.  Mihiel, 

“To  sound  oppressions’  funeral  knell,  — 

Was  mottoed  on  his  shield.

Nor  marvel  if  a  prince  he  stood 
Amid  war’s  withering  flames, 

He  joined  to  Scotia's  highland  blood 
One  of  her  grand  old  names. 

Montgomery’s  castle  on  the  heights, 

His  proud  ancestral  shrine, 

Can  boast  among  its  sleeping  knights, 
None  worthier  of  the  line. 

Victorious  over  freedom’s  foes, 

On  fields  of  old  renown, 

His  spirit,  like  a  rocket,  rose 
To  clutch  a  martyr’s  crown. 

Rest  thee  in  peace,  my  gallant  lad, 
Though  far  from  home  you  sleep; 

God’s  own  pure  knight,  Sir  Galahad, 
Will  vigil  o’er  thee  keep. 

France,  too,  will  consecrate  the  ground, 
Her  changeless  stars  above, 

And,  in  the  air,  to  wrap  thee  ’round, 

Her  lillies  and  her  love.

SERVICE  REGISTER 

Beginning  on  the  opposite  page  is  a  list  of  the  graduates, 
under-graduates,  and  former  students  of  Davidson  College 
who  served  their  country  in  the  World  War. 

The  list  is  probably  incomplete.  However,  the  fact  that 
during  the  last  six  months  not  over  twenty  names  were 
added  makes  us  feel  that  the  ground  is  fairly  covered.  No 
omission  is  intentional.  The  *  *  *  indicate  that  the  infor¬ 
mation  given  was  received  from  newspapers.  From  the 
names  so  starred  and  from  the  names  followed  by  a  blank 
space,  every  effort  was  made  to  secure  the  needed  infor¬ 
mation.  Five  direct  appeals  were  sent  to  each  man,  and 
general  requests  were  made  through  the  college  bulletins, 
The  Davidsonian,  and  the  Church  and  daily  papers. 

The  names  followed  by  *  died  while  in  service,  and  are 
duplicates  of  those  given  in  the  foregoing  pages. 

Thirty-five  men  were  wounded  and  gassed.  Two  were 
members  of  the  Legion  of  Honor,  nine  received  the  Dis¬ 
tinguished  Service  Cross,  six  were  awarded  the  Croix  de 
Guerre,  thirteen  citations  were  given,  and  nine  foreign 
medals  and  crosses  were  received.  The  information  in 
this  paragraph,  compiled  largely  from  newspapers  and 
reports,  is  far  from  complete.
